Weekend Art Roundup

Here are a couple events of note:

Tonight, hit up the DCAC for 1460 Wallmountables, where you can pick up inexpensive — and decent — art. The show has some interesting parameters, which makes it fun: artists must create works that fit into 2' x 2' spaces, and can display work in up to four spaces. There's a $100 prize for the artist with the best use of space, so get ready for some really innovative pieces. The opening ifrom 7-9 p.m. at 2438 18th St., NW.

Also tonight: Hillyer Art Space holds an open mic night from 7-9 p.m. Sign up at 6 p.m. 9 Hillyer Court, NW.

Some museum shows I like around town:

• Martin Puryear, Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul, and Richard Misrach: On the Beach (above) at the National Gallery of Art

• The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

• Zaida Ben-Yusuf: New York Portrait Photographer at the National Portrait Gallery
